Haven't hunted with it yet, tag is not with me now, its up state at my house. Thats why I am asking the question before I go upstate this weekend. Thanks

I have a muzzle loader / bow tag for crossbow hunting the last 14 days of bow season. My question is, can i only take a doe with this tag?

How many stands do you have on your property now??

Wish we had oak trees by us. Have beech, maple, ash, cherry for the hard wood but no Oak.

We have apples all over the area and some are starting to fall. No farms in immediate area, and no acorns.

Have been up the last two weekends and have not seen any deer. Where have they gone. Don't see them in the fields in back of my house or across the road. Any thought as to why there no sightings. August I saw a load of deer all around th area but not now.

Thanks for the info.

Guys correct me if my interpertation is wrong . I am in the southern zone in Delaware county, so with my regular bow license i can take a doe or a buck with atleast 3pts on one side. Then I have a muzzleloader license for xbow the last 14 days of archery season. I can also take a buck or a doe like the regular bow license. Is this correct? Thanks

Thanks for that laugh

I thought that you get a preference point when you apply and are not picked for a DMP. You should have had a point from last year.

I believe its free for Lifetime License holders. Everyone else pays $10 non refundable, also $10 for landowners permit

Will have to hunt harder this year, no DMP for me in 4W. Have bow and crossbow so I will try harder and probably be hunting more just to fill my tag. Thats a good thing being in the woods, even if i don't get a deer. I love the peace and quiet and fresh air. Can't wait had two trail cameras out saw some deer and a bear whacked my camera to the ground. Guess he was camera shy!!!

Though you are randomly selected for a DMP from Aug thru Oct 1,st, only it you have a preference point in certain areas. So all those hunters who lack a preference point will not apply this year unless they want a preference pt. for next year. So if selected next year they will have actually paid $20 for their DMP. If it was like a lottery then everyone would apply for the DMP and the DEC would haul in more money. JMHO

That's why I askedi it doesn't say yearly. But I will fill it out just in case.

Guys I used the wrong termonology when I used the word permit. What I was referring to was the on line certificate that you print out and sign for Crossbow and have to carry it with you when using the crossbow. I filled out one last year and wondered it you have to fill it out every year. So all you need is a Muzzleloader license and the certificate.

Do we still need a muzzleloader permit to use a crossbow? I know we can use it the last 14 days of bow season but can we take either a buck or a doe, like we can with our bow license?

Do you have to fill out the online crossbow certificate of qualification every year. Even if you have it from last year?

QUICK QUESTION WHEN DO NYS HUNTING LICENSE GO ON SALE? THANKS

Pygmy, sorry for your loss. Just a question has anyone ever thanked you for your service? Left Nam April 7, 1971 one of the lucky ones.

I think too many people in this countys have no idea what our troops go through during their deployment. When I was 19 I was drafted and so were many of my friends and classmates from high school. Everyone in our neighborhod knew someone in Viet Nam . How many people know one soldier in Afghanastan or Iraq, etc probably no one. Its like it's so far from their lives it doesn't involve them so they don't care. Atleast with the draft everyone was engaged and had someone to worry about, care about, someone waiting for them to come home. This is a weekend to honor the lives that have fallen to give us the right to do what ever we want to do. I salute all the fallen and those who have served to protect and defend our American way of life. So this Monday I will be heading up state to my cabin, make a big camp fire and have a few drinks and be thankful I am here to do that. And quietly be proud I am a veteran, a very lucky veteran.

I guess it's just like you said in a previous post they have the experience and know what they are doing. They have been at long enough and don't need any gov't regu;ations. To fix something that's not broken. Oh, by the way I have some waterfront property in California to sell ya. Just one problem it comes with all the oil you can scrape off the sand and rocks. But the weather is great.

U.S. Coast Guard Responds to Oil Platform Fire in Gulf of Mexico Production at the Miss Katherine offshore supply vessel near New Orleans has been halted By Erin Ailworth And Chelsey Dulaney Updated May 22, 2015 1:22 p.m. ET0 COMMENTS The U.S. Coast Guard said Friday that it is responding to a fire at an oil production platform near New Orleans. The Coast Guard received a report of a fire from the Miss Katherine offshore supply vessel at 2:50 a.m. Production has been halted and the platform evacuated. No injuries were reported among the 28 onboard. The platform’s owner, Texas Petroleum Investment Co., said the platform gathers oil and pumps it through a pipeline, meaning that little oil—as much as 120 barrels—was stored on site. All wells feeding the platform have been shut down, it said. “Our company is working with the Coast Guard and other agencies to address any environmental issues that develop,” the Houston-based company said in a statement. “All the workers on the platform were safely evacuated and there were no injuries.” The Coast Guard said the platform, which has storage capacity for about 4,000 barrels of crude oil, has been shut down. It said the 60 wells that operate from the platform are in the process of being shut in. The news comes just days after oil from a ruptured pipeline in southern California leaked into the Pacific Ocean, fouling a Santa Barbara County beach. Oil and Gas companies doing another fine job.

Checked the weather for southern Delaware county near LOng Eddy and it shown temp as low as 30 Degrees tonite till Sat. morning. Worry about my apple trees they were looking so good hope they make it. I was making apple sauce in my mind already, wishful thinking.

So you say the oil companies know what they are doing and we need less regulation, think again. Seems to be a reoccuring theme, when will we learn it's all about the profit not our health and as this article points out definately not about protecting the environment. Just another incident that didn't happen right Mr. VJP. No cantamination of our water right!!!

CALIFORNIA Pipeline operator in oil spill has high rate of safety infractions Julie Cart, Jack Dolan and Doug Smith A Times analysis of data shows the company responsible for the ruptured Santa Barbara pipeline has a rate of incidents more than three times the national average.
